AI Headline Generation

Overview 80% of people read the headline, but only 20% read the article. AI excels at generating dozens of variations of headlines, subject lines, and titles to maximize engagement (CTR).

Formulas You can instruct AI to use proven copywriting formulas:

1. How-To Prompt: "Write 5 'How-To' headlines for an article about growing tomatoes." Output: "How to Grow Juicy Tomatoes in Just 60 Days."

2. Listicle (Numbers) Prompt: "Write 5 listicle titles." Output: "7 Mistakes Every New Gardener Makes (And How to Fix Them)."

3. Curiosity Gap Output: "The One Secret Ingredient Your Tomato Plants Are Missing."

4. Negative Angle Output: "Stop Killing Your Plants: Why Over-Watering is the Enemy."

Optimization

• Subject Lines: "Make it under 50 characters so it doesn't get cut off on mobile."
• SEO: "Include the keyword 'Organic Gardening' at the start."
• AB Testing: "Generate 2 variants: one emotional, one factual."

Tools

• Copy.ai: Marketing specific.
• ChatGPT: General purpose.
• CoSchedule Headline Analyzer: Scores your headline (AI often scores high).
